The problem is, if you ask a economist how they would implement sweeping tariffs, steep across the board, the answer would be "Please don't." It's such a stupid fucking idea, every answer is wrong.
- Perfectly illustratibg how current "Ai" maybe an OK assistant to a trained professional for low level, mundane tasks... It cannot get close to replace the actual trained professional
  
  Then how is any new low level intern supposed to become a trained professional?? 🪿 🪿
  FuckAI
- They probably also wouldn't set a specific tariff for an uninhabited island even if they did it under protest
- They also asked ChatGPT about economists, and after conducting an exhaustive study on reddit and Twitter it reported back that everyone agrees economists are bad, mean, and wrong, and that you should just do what you think is best and everything will turn out fine, the same way it always has.

I think that if the AI had been running the country, it wouldn't have suggested crashing the American economy and potentially that of the rest of the world in the first place, but if you ask it stupid questions then you'll get stupid answers.
- You seem to think AI understands anything. It literally does not understand anything.
  
  It understands relationships between concepts, which is something that can be learned from reading text even without firsthand experience of the world. "Tariffs" is associated with "recession" and "recession" is associated with "bad".
- It's not the lighter's fault if someone uses it to burn down a forest. Especially if the lighter is yelling the whole time that it's a bad idea to burn down the forest!
  
  But it would be partly the lighters fault if it used up more power and water than most countries do.
- You're assuming that crashing the economy wasn't what it was asked how to do.

That's probably how the penguins got included.

Something that I'd read as a kid in a work of fiction and would think is cool is actually dogshit in practice. It's no wonder I'm so pessimistic.
